Sophomores took the PreACT on Thursday, November 7, 2024. Students took the test in classrooms around the main building. The test started around 7:25 am and lasted until around 10:30 am.
All sophomores had to take this test and some students think differently about this. “I feel like if the PreACT was not required we shouldn’t have to take the PreACT. I get that it prepares us, but I don’t know if we actually need it, “ said Jake Daly, sophomore.
There are 3 main sections in the PreACT, reading, math, and science. This test is different from the SAT and the PSAT due to the added science portion. Preparation for the PreACT is a choice but it can help to refamiliarize older topics on math or science.
Cole Turner, sophomore, said, “I didn’t remember anything from math because I took it a while ago, so I tried to look at my notes from math last year.”
During the test, students are not allowed to have anything at their testing station except for a Chromebook, Chromebook charger, and a non-mechanical pencil. The proctor will read the instructions before and after each section of the test. Students will also be provided a break in between sections.
After the test students can grab their belongings and head to their 3rd-period class or lunch depending on their schedule.
